Lemon Scented Tea Tree products are changing

Date Posted:6 February 2019

We're updating one of our essential oils.

We are progressively swapping the Lemon Scented Tea Tree essential oil for Lemon-Scented Ironbark (we are calling it Lemon Scented Eucalyptus as we are aware not everyone understands that Ironbark is a type of Eucalyptus).

The products affected are:

Activated Charcoal, Sea Salt & Lemon Scented Tea Tree [Salt Bar]

Activated Charcoal & Lemon Scented Tea Tree [Butter Bar]

Lemon Scented Tea Tree COCO-NUT

Lemongrass, Lavender & Tea Tree DOG SHAMPOO

Lemon Tea Tree, Mint & Eucalyptus THREE IN ONE

Foaming Handwash - Lemon Tea Tree, Mint & Eucalyptus

Lemon Scented Tea Tree, Lavender & Peppermint Hand & Body Wash

Why?

The price of Lemon Scented Tea Tree means that this scent is no longer a viable option for us (our alternative would be to raise the price of just those products using this scent).

Differences

While the old scent was from a tea tree and the new one is from a eucalypt, they are both very pleasant lemony scents - in fact, our scent testers consistently preferred the Lemon Scented Eucalyptus. Tea Tree has a reputation for being antibacterial and antifungal, but the Lemon Scented Eucalyptus also has been shown to have these properties, though it's not as well known.
